I run Windows XP, almost exclusively using Firefox (occasionally IE for recalcitrant sites). I run Norton Anti virus and Norton Internet security. I recently ran both Adaware and Spybot.

I have 2 problems:Continuous pop-ups re "Registry is corrupted" etc from 'reg32.com' etc etc Another user on same computer is running e-mule (file-sharer) This seems to block/clog the modem - I have to reboot to use it again...Any ideas? Here is the current log....MANY THANKS for any help....

Many thanks for all the hlep and advice. I run most of those but will add the couple I don't.. I have tried to update Windows to SP2 but had pretty drastic problems with it... and will wait till next computer!

I know one shouldn't reply to one's own message. HOwever, I've just had a very worrying e-mail re SPAM. I had opne e-mail "vlocked" to a regular correspondent at an educational institute (.edu...) Apparently my IP was lisetd as a purveyor of SPAM, on several listings. For one of these I was able to remove my IP address, but for others not able to - one was a paying service, another didn't work....

Is this a result of the same problems as you dealt with? Could it have happened while I switched off Norton in order to load up web pages to a FTP server??? Could it just be through security holes in Windows??? As I told you, I could not upgrade my WIndows XP to SP2 - the whole computer became a mess...

No... The reason I hadn't gotten any emails was that there was an update of the board software. That didn't preserve my settings, so I've been working a while "in the dark". I was already wondering why I got so few notifications though

Many ISPs think that holding back email based on the originatords address, so called blacklists, are a way to counter spam. Unfortunately that is usually not the case. I don't think you can actually fight that
